It's not that farfetched. Corona's golems are like "equipment" under her control. She gets punched out, they go inert. OTOH, Lutecia's summons are seperate, independent people under her orders. It'd be like bringing another fighter on your side in a one-on-one match, hardly fair for the other girl.
However, we have yet to confirm whether she truly is forbidden to use her summons. Also, there's the matter of the "true witch" contestant. We don't know what's the nature of the creatures with her and whether she uses them in the ring.

That's still a rule that would severely handicap any summoner, considering their combat style would naturally rely on a summon being present. A far better rule would be for the match to be ended the moment the summoner gets punched out, not ban summons altogether.

Or to put a limit on the number or height of summons he/she can call to the battlefield, to mantain his/her fightstyle without allowing them to summon a small army against a single individual. Summoners deserve some love indeed.

That reminds me of a theory i had about why monsters wait patiently during Sailor Moon's transformation: The multicolored flashes of light during the secuence provoke a semi-epileptic effect on the monsters who suffer low-level attacks that prevents them from doing anything until the transformation is over XD.

On this tournament is showed by Miura and Micaiah that the mage is at least allowed to tranform into their magical clothings before starting the fight. I doubt they'll go to the lenghts of allowing a summoner to at least perform one summon before starting the fight as one of the weaknesses pointed by Otto is that the creator/summoner can be attacked during the performing of the summoning spell xD.

Pretty sure Lutecia isn't just going to be a D-Rank mage in this. No telling how powerful she'll be, exactly, but if she manages to beat her foes as a D-rank... that's kind of scary skilled. I'm not saying Lutecia isn't, but assuming the ranks probably go up to at least A, that's a high level of skill in my eyes.

That is not entirely correct. The contestants are supposed to set up before getting into the ring. What's the point of mandating all the constants to have devices of a certain level for safety if they don't use them?

Lutecia has a major handicap, namely the fact that she isn't (apparently) allowed to use her primary power-set (much as I'd love to have her get beaten down by some arrogant competitor and then use Hakutenoh to affect an attitude adjustment. ), which might explain why she's eligible.

Another question, though, would be what local tournaments would Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate enter, since all of them resided on a non-administrated world until they were 15.

*suddenly remembers the upper age limit is 19 and has the mental image of StrikerS Fate and Nanoha entering the tournament*

Considering they talked about Erio and Caro entering, Bureau personnel aren't barred from the competition. I think the main reason Subaru won't enter is because she simply isn't interested in competitions of strength. The girl doesn't really like fighting, the main reason she joined the TSAB was to enter the disaster management and save people.
